    <h3>
      Installation instructions
    </h3>

    <p>
      In order to install <acronym>ASPECT</acronym>, you will need to first install the following
      dependencies:
      <ul>
	<li><a href="http://trilinos.sandia.gov/">Trilinos</a>: A library for
	parallel linear algebra.
	<li><a href="http://www.p4est.org">p4est</a>: A library for
	parallel data structures and algorithms to represent meshes.
	<li><a href="http://www.dealii.org">deal.II</a>: A library that
	supports all things related to finite element methods.
      </ul>
      The individual steps needed to install each of these packages are
      discussed in the <a href="doc/manual.pdf">Installation instructions
      section of the <acronym>ASPECT</acronym> manual</a>.
      Detailed installation instructions are also provided by all of these
      libraries on their webpages as well as <i>much</i> more information
      about details of these libraries.
    </p>

    <p>
      One you have installed these three underlying libraries, compiling
      <acronym>ASPECT</acronym> is relatively simple. More information can again be found in the
      corresponding section of the <a href="doc/manual.pdf"><acronym>ASPECT</acronym> manual</a>.
    </p>


    <h3>
      Running and extending <acronym>ASPECT</acronym>
    </h3>

    <p>
      Instructions on how to run and extend, as well as on how to interpret
      the output of Apect can also be found in
      the <a href="doc/manual.pdf"><acronym>ASPECT</acronym> manual</a>. This manual also
      discusses the structure of the source code.

      More information
    </h3>

    <p>
      If you have questions on <acronym>ASPECT</acronym>, there are a number of mailing lists
      that can help:
      <ul>
	<li>The ASPECT website is available at <a href="http://aspect.dealii.org">http://aspect.dealii.org</a>
	<li>For questions on the source code of <acronym>ASPECT</acronym>, portability,
	installation, etc., use
	the <a href="http://lists.geodynamics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/aspect-devel">aspect-devel mailing
	    list</a>. This mailing list is where the <acronym>ASPECT</acronym>
	  developers all hang out.

	<li><acronym>ASPECT</acronym> is primarily based on the deal.II library (the dependency
	on Trilinos and p4est is primarily through deal.II, and not directly
	visible in the <acronym>ASPECT</acronym> source code). If you have particular questions
	about deal.II, contact
	the <a href="http://www.dealii.org/mail.html">deal.II discussion groups</a>.

	<li>In case of more general questions about mantle convection, you can
	contact the <a href="http://lists.geodynamics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cig-MC">CIG mantle
	convection mailing lists</a>.

	<li>If you have specific questions about <acronym>ASPECT</acronym> that are not suitable
	for public and archived mailing lists, you can contact the
	primary developers:
	  <ul>
	    <li>Wolfgang
	      Bangerth: <a href="mailto:bangerth@math.tamu.edu">bangerth@math.tamu.edu</a>
